REGULATORY IMPACT ANALYSIS AND TIERING STATEMENT
Contact Person:
Leslie Saunders
(1) Provide a brief summary of:
(a) What this administrative regulation does:
This administrative regulation sets the process for the Registry’s investigatory process once an enforcement matter begins by complaint or through an internal referral.
(b) The necessity of this administrative regulation:
This administrative regulation is necessary because, while KRS 121.140 contemplates a complaints process and addresses some of the investigatory powers the registry processes in processing complaints, the statute describes no procedures for doing with any detail.
(c) How this administrative regulation conforms to the content of the authorizing statutes:
KRS 121.120(1)(g) grants the registry the authority to “promulgate administrative regulations necessary to carry out the provisions of this chapter[.]”
(d) How this administrative regulation currently assists or will assist in the effective administration of the statutes:
It sets procedures for the regular investigation of complaints.
(2) If this is an amendment to an existing administrative regulation, provide a brief summary of:
(a) How the amendment will change this existing administrative regulation:
This amendment removes a portion of duplicated regulation that is covered by the previous administrative regulation (where the subject matter fits better). It also removes the requirement that the state pay witness fees and the requirement that the respondent send multiple copies of the documents to the Registry, which it no longer needs. Finally, it adds a second violation related to late filing that can go to conciliation immediately, like other forms of late filing.
(b) The necessity of the amendment to this administrative regulation:
This amendment is necessary to remove impediments to the complaint investigation process, such as witness fees to which the agency should not be subject and costs associated with copies of documents which the Registry now receives no benefit from the public incurring. It also removes what had been redundant language between 32 KAR 2:030 and 32 KAR 2:040 and treats similar violations in a similar manner.
(c) How the amendment conforms to the content of the authorizing statutes:
KRS 121.140 provides broad overview of the complaint process, including a process of the registry’s investigatory powers, however does not provide any specific guidance. This regulation will provide that specificity.
(d) How the amendment will assist in the effective administration of the statutes:
This amendment will provide further guidance on how the registry investigates complaints received and will streamline several steps in the process that no longer reflected agency needs or had been changed by amendment.
(3) List the type and number of individuals, businesses, organizations, or state and local governments affected by this administrative regulation:
Anyone who wishes to file a complaint or is a respondent to a complaint received by the registry is affected, as well as anyone who might be a witness the board meeting or hearing related to an enforcement matter.
(4) Provide an analysis of how the entities identified in question (3) will be impacted by either the implementation of this administrative regulation, if new, or by the change, if it is an amendment, including:
(a) List the actions that each of the regulated entities identified in question (3) will have to take to comply with this administrative regulation or amendment:
Regulated entities will no longer be required to file multiple copies of the same document and will enter into conciliation immediately if a Statement of Spending Intent is amended late, as opposed to having the matter heard at a meeting before the Board.
(b) In complying with this administrative regulation or amendment, how much will it cost each of the entities identified in question (3):
Entities will incur no costs in complying, with the exception that the state will no longer pay witness expenses.
(c) As a result of compliance, what benefits will accrue to the entities identified in question (3):
Compliance will make the process less burdensome for the entities because they no longer have to file multiple copies of documents (that the Registry no longer uses but are still in the regulatory language) and they will no longer be required to participate in a board hearing before going to conciliation for a violation that is similar to the less burdensome delinquency process.
(5) Provide an estimate of how much it will cost the administrative body to implement this administrative regulation:
(a) Initially:
There will be no initial cost to the administrative body to implement this administrative regulation.
(b) On a continuing basis:
There will be no cost on a continuous basis to the administrative body to implement this administrative regulation.
(6) What is the source of the funding to be used for the implementation and enforcement of this administrative regulation:
While no additional funding will be required for the implementation and enforcement of this administrative regulation, the administrative body operates solely on General Funds.
(7) Provide an assessment of whether an increase in fees or funding will be necessary to implement this administrative regulation, if new, or by the change if it is an amendment:
It will not be necessary to increase fees or funding to implement this administrative regulation.
(8) State whether or not this administrative regulation establishes any fees or directly or indirectly increases any fees:
No.
(9) TIERING: Is tiering applied?
This administrative regulation does not apply tiering because the underlying statute sets out one complaint and investigation procedure in KRS 121.140 that is applicable in the same manner to all respondents, complainants, witnesses, etc.
